Calories in Avocado
Why half an avocado is a normal serving, not a whole one
What makes avocado so powerful?
Avocado is unusual among fruit: most of its calories come from fat, not sugar, and most of that fat is monounsaturated. That is why 100 g carries about 160 calories, several times a typical fruit. A whole avocado is often 200 g or more of flesh, so eating one in a sitting can mean 300+ calories. Many people track a third or half instead. It also brings fibre and potassium, which is why it fits into weight-loss plans as long as the portion is measured.
Weigh the flesh without skin and stone. Use a third to a half on toast or in a salad; mash it in place of mayonnaise to swap some fat for fibre.
